BOARD OF SUPERVISORS �."sE.L Contra \F FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Costa County DATE: February 16, 1993 SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: SB 174 (Marks) - The Public Library Learning and Literacy Expansion Act of 1994 SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a position in SUPPORT of SB 174 by Senator Marks, the Public Library Learning and Literacy Expansion Act of 1994 . This bill would place a $350 million library bond act on the ballot in June, 1994 . BACKGROUND: Senator Marks has introduced SB 174, to place a $350 million library bond measure on the ballot. If passed by the voters, the $350 million would be available to local jurisdictions on a 65% state, 35% local match basis to construct and/or remodel public library facilities . In 1988, statewide voters approved Proposition 85, which authorized $75 million in bonds for public library construction. From that round of bond funding the City of Clayton was successful in obtaining $2 . 7 million in state matching funds to construct a new 15,000 square foot branch library scheduled to open in late 1994 . In 1991, the Board of Supervisors took a support position_ on SB 1230 which was similar to SB 174; however, SB 1230 died at the end of the 1992 legislative session. Contra Costa County Library Draft MasterPlan has proposed facility standards of a minimum level of . 3 square feet per capita and an enhanced level of . 5 square feet per capita. Implementation of these standards would require approximately 20 capital projects to be completed to meet the twenty year population projections in the County. The projects include additional branch libraries in Antioch, East County/Brentwood and San Ramon, new replacement CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: 1X YES SIGNATURE: 4� Z Z X RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE X APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE S: ACTION OF BOARD ON February , APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED X OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS ZI HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE -X-UNANIMOUS(ABSENT ) AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN: OF SUPERVISORS O THE DATE SHOWN.

The total cost of these capital projects would be $68 million to $120 million, depending on the square footage constructed. If state bond funds were available for all of these projects, only $23 million to $40 million would be required in local funds . Obviously this is an ambitious capital project scenario; however, in order to meet the growing information needs of the citizens of this County, it will be crucial to upgrade the physical facilities within which library service is provided. We are, therefore, recommending that the Board of Supervisors adopt a support position on SB 174 . .r- SENATE BILL No. . 174 ` Introduced by Senator.Marks February 3, 1993 An act to add Cha ter 12 (commencing.with Section 19985 p. .
